Look here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mikepitt/cambridge_politics/euro04.html Scroll down to the table that shows the previous results. It seems to me that if we made a concerted effort despite our own political convictions to vote UKIP we may be able to unseat the sitting Lib Dem!
No, error, bad! wrong! European Parliament elections (AIUI) use a proportional representation system and going by the results of the last election is possibly not a good idea. So far I have read that many of the main parties (especially Conservatives and Labour) are losing votes to minority parties, so what everyone *must* do is vote, as every vote for a party that isn't a main party means you make their share of the vote smaller, at least then even votes for something scary like the BNP will give the main parties less seats. So like Alan Cox said vote Green or UKIP (personally I feel the UKIP has more against it than for it) or one of the other minority parties, I don't suppose anyone knows Martin Bells position on software patents?
